Optimisation of long product rolling through improved understanding of roll wear and lubrication

Project Information

Grant agreement ID: 7210-PR-279

Project closed

Start date 1 July 2001

End date 31 December 2004

Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 1 295 100,00

EU contribution € 777 060,00

Coordinated by

Objective

The objective of the project is to obtain plant based measurements of work wear on long product mills to be able to realistically optimise the performance of any long product mill. Laboratory tests, including wear and roll gap lubricant tests will be carried out in order to establish the precise conditions occurring on the mills, and to identify the important parameters affecting roll wear. The roll wear information will be used to set up a knowledge database, to be used for optimisation of long product rolling operations.
